Cape Mentelle Website Taste Review: The first approach is very fresh with excellent vibrancy and tension, developing into citrus and melon characters. The wine is then textural and unctuous, ending with a long, zesty finish accompanied by a line of minerality that brings us back to the ocean cliffs and Margaret River mouth.
Like a typical Sauvignon Blanc the smell as well as the taste was dry. I have not, though, had a Semillon before and I think that may be where the fruity smell happened. I definitely see where the makers say there is a melon aspect at times but holy cow the main thing I kept thinking while drinking the wine was how much of a vinegar taste there was!
Not had with food.
